because we use real whole lobsters, the price fluctuates with the market. The one pictured is 25 w/ 2 sides. (compare that to the price of a whole lobster and you can see its a good deal).

We also offer a petite with 2 sides for 16.

Jon, dined there last week and your team did a standout job accommodating my date, who has got a checklist worth of food allergies, with aplomb. The head chef went far and above to make sure our dinner was an enjoyable experience.

Same lobster at 20 feet. No sides $18

Gina, those are two completely different sandwiches.

With all dur respect to my friend, Jon Alexis, Of TJ’s, Sea Fare in Plano does an excellent lobsta roll with a choice of two sides for $13.99.

TJ’s goal is to be the best…and the best value. We are extremely proud of our lobster roll, which places and entire lobster on a bun. Period. NEVER FROZEN LOBSTER MEAT. You are eating an entire lobster on a bun + 2 sides for $25. That is a better deal than most restaurants “lobster dinner”.

Our Petite for $16 and 2 sides is the competitor to the ones listed above. You are looking at the giant whole lobster on a 8″ bun bad ass creme de la creme big boy.

Looks good to me. My guess is that some of the other lobster rolls do not have a full lobster. I don’t understand why the restaurant address isn’t shown in the review for the sake of convenience.

If you pick up a copy of the magazine, the address is listed in the photo. Also, I’ve added a link to our directory at the bottom of the post.

I’ve had most of available lobster rolls in town (not all), and this race isn’t even close. From the choice of bread for the roll that they use, to the quality of the lobster meat, to the excellent sides (love that wasabi salad dressing!) that comes with it….TJ’s is way ahead of all the others. Yes, its about $20 for a lunch, but its definitely a $20 sandwich. Good desserts too, if you have any room left.

I guess it’s the closest thing you can get to a NE Lobstah Roll. A NE girl myself and having had thee best on the Cape there are a few things I would adjust. More meat and the authentic hot dog rolls they have. Looks good enough to try though.

Now I know a thing or two about rolls, and this one will not let you down. I stepped my game up and got a large roll last weekend after discussing which size to get with the owner who told me I would be better off with it, and it did not disappoint. From being greeted by the entire staff, including the owner, when I walked in the door welcoming me to this part of town, to the chef taking my order, to the super friendly and attentive, but not overbearing, service, it was a great experience. Now on to what makes this place really great, the quality of the seafood, no need to worry, it is the freshest. The recipe is classic chunky roll style, not a mayonnaise concocted diner style piece of garbage from old meat. The roll itself is legit and is perfectly seasoned (aka buttered). What can I say, can’t wait to go back and I know that I’m not alone with this opinion because everyone I was with felt the same way.

Not a surprise. TJs at Oak Lawn is a gem. It is both casual–the decor and atmosphere–and elegant; the plate presentations are artistic but restrained, no chow towers here.

The oysters are the best I’ve found in Dallas, and I have tried them all.

Throw in Jon and his staff’s genuine exuberance and you have one of the best restaurants in Dallad.

I’ve hit all the top spots in Maine (Reds, Maine Diner, etc.) and this roll definitely belongs in that company.
